synovial membrane-provides fluid

fibrous capsule-provides protection

Term
The articular ends of the bones inside the joint cavity are covered in what?
Definition
hyaline cartilage
Term
what are the characteristics of hyaline cartilage, what does it do?
Definition
it absorbs shock and protects the bone as well as slowly absorbs synovial fluid during joint unloading and then secretes it during weight bearing
